town last Wednesday investigating the
dredging proposition for some Napa parties.

A correspondent who furnishes US with sew
eral Mason Valley items this week winds up
as follows: "a good many naughty words
are showered upon the heads of our County
Commissioners for tearing down the Walker
River bridge without grading down the banks
to make crossing. 1t is almost impossible
for team with light wagon to crawl up
and down the banks, and some of the people
would like to slide back into Esmeralda

Those who want to GO back are probably the
ones who cannot get the county to build a
road by their door yard for their own con.
and then receive several hundred
dollars damages for the land tn. road takes.
